that we are a community. I've seen a lot of people bash the site on YouTube, other forums and constantly attack it when it is unnecessary. I am not going to lie, the troll threads are tedious, many of the threads are repetitive (probably this one too) and some people attention seek but for the rest of us, we've bonded and that itself is something to take note of. Some of us on here have met up/Skyped/WhatsApp'ed and connected. We have a laugh, we talk about serious issues but most of all, we've made friends from all over the world, some nearby and the rest only several hours away.

What I love about the site is that you can talk to someone you may not have spoken to before or perhaps felt intimidated to but after you begin a conversation, you instantly clicked. Some of us on here may struggle socially to make friends and that's where TSR comes in. It allows those to come together and become the best friend of friends.

Fair enough, some new users may feel 'inferior' to the much older, more active users but in fact once you get started on the site, you can't stop! I've been on here for nearly eight months and it was the best decision ever.

If I want advice in terms of studying, I can just make a thread and people studying the same subjects as me can bond. We can help each other out. Even if TSR is distracting, there are many people in the same boat who struggle to become motivated and thus suffer with procrastination.

Lastly, the mods do an amazing job and every time I have a complaint to make, they are there and make sure that it is being dealt with.

Without TSR, I wouldn't have the friends I do today. I wouldn't like certain music and I would certainly feel alone at times. This sounds cheesy but I just wanted to say this because a lot of you are amazing and deserve to hear it!

Brilliant thread!!
I agree 100% with you!
I have no friends in person but have many on here and im a lot happier than i was beforehand!!

I know, that's the beauty of it. A lot of people fail to appreciate it - it's more than just a website and everyone is so welcoming and friendly.
